negotiations short because they are not comfortable

- Tell you a sad story- Make you feel guilty- Ingratiate- Flatter

- Few and large - As a condition of

preserving the relationship

Take Aways

• Negotiation is a life skill

• Business analysts negotiate a variety of issues

at any time, with various stakeholders and not

necessarily face-to-face

• Negotiation dynamics are largely influenced by

personality and negotiation style

• Practice and training can improve your personal

negotiation style.
